Why are s550 GT500s so slow?

[Tezz500]

The palm beach 3.8 coyote that I have seen runs 8.8 at 154.

From what I've been seeing, it looks like PBD reigns in mid range TQ in order to save the DCT.... IDK if that's causing the S550 GT500 to hit a wall but, I mean maybe a true built trans is what's needed to get faster? Have we seen a Blower car pass 1300RWHP?I haven't seen that yet. I know PBDs GT500 is now a Twin Turbo set up.

Lots of other great choices for less than 6 figures.

Like what...?

An automatic Shelby is never what i asked for.

Exactly.

If a 100k automatic transmission Shelby that runs 11s pleases you then that's great. No it does not please me and that's why I dont have one or have any desire for one. Lots of other great choices for less than 6 figures.

I’ll settle for an $80K C8 that will get very close to 10’s stock. Probably not at my elevation (7500’) but thems the breaks…

PREDATOR POWER 2020 Shelby GT500 Belts Out Big Power With A Whipple Blower

Right off the showroom floor, the 2020 Shelby GT500 is an impressive machine. The most powerful Mustang created to date, it puts out a whopping 760-horspower to the flywheel courtesy of its TVS-boosted, 2.6-liter supercharger. However, when the aftermarket takes over that number heads for the...

I remember reading this article. I believe the author actually used to do articles for this site, Steve Turner. I could be wrong though, Sid would know.

I don’t know much about hub dynos so I’m not sure how it compares to a Dynojet in regards to actual numbers. Evolution claims the blower is capable of “well into 2000hp in race applications” but I highly doubt that.

PBDs 3.8 Whipple install and tests with Coyote 3.8 Comparision.

Great videos. I would like to see the RPG GT run his max effort gt500.

I believe Kens is flipped over to a Twin Turbo set up now with built Motor.

One thing I find to be impressive is that these cars are getting high 8s with Stock Motor, Stock Trans, Stock Rear. Love it or hate it, Going 8s on a stock internal car is ****ing nuts.

Thats pretty damn fast and a testament to Ford Performance.

Id imagine Suspension and further Trans development will easily start seeing 7s.

I used to think I knew what fast was. Well today I got me a edumacation.

I got a ride in my one of my best friends McLaren, brand new 720 S spider. He got that car up to 155 mph on i75 and it felt like it took five seconds.
The only reason he even let up was because we came up on another car.
I am sorry to change the subject, but nothing will ever feel fast to me again. The car just does not quit.

still dont understand paying for a track inspired car and converting to 1320 focused. upgrading to get more power sure but 8 seconds and slicks are not what the car was designed for

Maybe just change thread title to

"Why are GT500s slow" look into what the 13/14 guys gotta do for a 9 second slip.

Tesla drivetrain and hack the ecm to allow 50% more out of the inverter. Batteries won't last for shit, but who cares.

That’s like going from Ghey to Mega-Ghey. Yes, it’s quick and fast - so is a blender.

I’ll just leave this here then.

^^^ That's an impressive '14 GT-500. 9.576! He's got a nice, relatively simple setup. And he did pretty well eliminating as much rotating weight as possible. I guess the answer to @q6543's question is really..."not really all that much" when you see what that guy has done.

Sssshhhh, careful bro…. 13/14 loyalists will start bleeding from the anus, when you mention how the 2020+ is a superior performing car…. Tezzy and the rest of the ladies might strain their little digits typing up insults and hurling them at you.

I’m loyal to being an enthusiast. Not much of which car is which. I actually own the cars I talk about, I’m not a has been, or talk about the cars I previously owned. I still own all of my cars.

That's awesome. I wish I had the funds to do so.

From what I’ve seen, the increase in power is not relative to increase in trap speed.

Some of this is the platform I’m sure.

But there’s a 1600whp TT Cobra running like a tenth and 5mph faster than unknown power Gen5 3.0 but I’d guess maybe 1000-1100whp. For sure the blower car is 5psi less.

But for sure, the S550 GT500 isn’t a prime drag or even roll car due to weight.
